A giant bird holding the earth in its beak, above a decidedly bird-centric miniature fantasy landscape, including a topiary maze. Many curious bird-related details can be discerned upon close examination!

Signed archival giclée print digitally recolored reproduction of an original painting, executed in acrylics over a collaged background of text (scanned from an old encyclopedia entry on "Bird's Eye View", along with elements from old maps) on 8"x 10" canvas.

My word-loving friends may be curious why I call this series "Tinctures." Though most commonly used today to describe a medicinal alcohol extract, the word can also mean a tint or color. In fact it originated in Middle English, from Latin tinctura act of dyeing, from tinctus, past participle of tingere to tinge.

The print is 600 dpi on heavy archival paper, using Epson UltraChrome inks for longevity & accurate color.
The untrimmed paper size is 8.5"x11", with the live image at the original size of ~8"x10".
